Mycroft’s popularity doesn’t surprise me at all. He is, after all, incredibly beautiful, clever and well-dressed. And beautiful. Did I mention that?

Cumberbatchweb is going. Apparently it's been sold out for ages. Loo, also apparently, tweeted yesterday asking if anyone had questions they'd like her to ask Mr Cumberbatch and the response broke her twitter LOL

I think she was a tad overwhelmed by the response!

Edit: here's Cumberbatchweb's Tumblr post about the event

Not. Jealous. At. All.

Do you realise how much we will love you if you can get a picture of our boy? I know you ain't allowed at certain times, but, come on, we are special, aren't we? I'm sure nobody will mind (snort). Seriously, if you do get a photo, this site would explode with joy and jealousy  Hope you are going to tweet from the festival as well as the (very lengthy) report. I really enjoyed your report from Edinburra (yeh, I know that's not how you spell it, but I'm trying to start a trend).

Anyway, have a great time no matter who you meet, looks like some interesting writers will be there. I used to help out at the bookstore at the Byron Bay Writers Festival in a former life and always had a hoot, met some lovely authors.

So do I. And on Twitter you'll find some answers. He'd love to do Hamlet. What about a trip to London?

Cumberbatchweb @cumberbatchweb
#BenedictCumberbatch hinted that we might see him give his Hamlet before too long.

Will have to book my tickets soon.

A pic of Louise before entering stage

Think she was a little bit excited earlier; for those who don't tweet:


Louise Brealey�� @louisebrealey

In bed, wild-eyed in the gloom. Hope my heart slows down a bit. It's punching my ribs so hard I might be dead by tea time. #cheltlitfest    16h

------------------------------------------------------------

That red onion quiche was a mistake. #cheltlitfest   4h

-------------------------------------------------------------

Aw you're all so nice. Thank you VERY MUCH for your kind bolstering words. Wish you were here. Hang on. You are. feck. xx                 4h

-------------------------------------------------------------

I an alive. I am drunk. I didn't make a massive twat of myself. Cheltenham, you were amazing. Thank you so much. #cheltlitfest          11m
